South Australian Angler – June 2018

also a pretty good spot to go crabbing
and wading for yellowfin whiting.
There’s a small caravan park
immediately adjacent to the boat ramp
entrance, as well as countless short
and long stay rental properties, but

be prepared to pay premium rates,

particularly during the high season.

PORT JULIA

This quaint little seaside village with

just 42 permanent residents is largely

unvisited, as it lacks any real facilities

other than a short jetty that is often

high and dry at low tide. When the tide

is in, however, the jetty produces a

few squid and tommies at night time.

The flats to both north and south

offer yellowfin whiting on occasion,

and there are plenty of crabs during

summer and autumn.

The Julia boat ramp is basic and

very tidal, providing only short launch/

retrieve windows early and late in the

day. There is a caravan park of sorts that

is equipped with toilets, but no power.

PORT VINCENT

Located around 190km from Adelaide,

Vincent is a thriving little coastal

community with a population of just

over 500. It boasts one of the best

marinas anywhere on Yorke Peninsula,

with multi-lane boat ramp, expansive

trailer park and great fishing just outside.

There is no jetty to fish from, but the old

Port Vincent wharf does produce crabs,
